Can this fan be used (and left) outdoors?

No. Not in my opinion, It has no real weatherproofing. It will need to be protected from the elements.

I would not think so. It has a outlet on the side. That being said, I have a regular wind turbine (walmart) fan outside at my dog pen. It's beenoutside, used for several years, and on all summer(24/7) with no problem.

Can be used outdoors, but unit is not waterproof, not to left out or used in wet conditions.

I keep my fan outdoors on a covered patio. I seldom turn it off in hot weather. My neighbor also has several of these fans on his patio. No problems so far.

I believe it is only rated for indoor use. A fan that can be used outdoors always is described specifically as indoor/outdoor.

Gary, My concern would be having the fan exposed to moisture. If you live in a dry area this may not be a problem. I live in Florida so it probably is not a good idea here. Mine is installed in my living room.

My fan is installed in a covered area of my deck. It is open on two sides and overlooks Lake Martin. We had a previous Hunter out door fan there for fourteen years with no problems. It was not a cast iron Origional and it had become rusty but was still running.

You can use the fan to exhaust purposes. It can be used in an unheated garage as long as it's not exposed to outside weather.

No, this fan is only for indoors. It is so very good looking that the outdoors will ruin it.

I didn't use the fan. I needed an exhaust fan that would exhaust to the outside atmosphere..........not room to room.

We are using this fan in our three season porch. It is not an outdoor fan. We love it!

yes, you can. two key for this: a. exhaust ducking as big as possible. b. distance can not too long, otherwise exhaust fan will not enough power to push hot air out.

I don't know why not. It generates a little heat and needs ventilation for the fan, so don't trim tight to it. We have it in a small clothes closet in our motorhome.

We put the fans inside, you could put it outside, I think, if it is well protected from rain. But be prepared for them not to last as long.

I bought six of them, but they are all installed indoors. They are gorgeous, absolutely silent fans. I'm sorry I couldn't answer your question regarding outdoor installation.

I have installed three of these fans. If you do not tighten the bolt that runs through the support, to tight, you can turn it left and right. There is no reason to over-tighten this bolt so the fan won't move left & right. Good luck.

Yes I only use the fan outside. You have to put the tube on the fan if you want to mist. It is a very good fan I love it outside or in its really powerful.

Yes, it can be placed outdoors. The critical controls are protected by a clear plastic cover. Make sure your power source is fully grounded if you live in a wet environment.

It can but will probably rust out in a year or so. If you can manage to at least cover the fan itself it will last for 3 to 5 years, or at least it has for me. For full time in weather there are other fans available. Just search online for weatherproof industrial fans. Good luck.

I own 2 of these fans and installed both of them fairly easy. I don't think it's rated for outdoor use but I don't see why you couldn't be. So far they have been great fans
